Garfield Akers Cottonfield Blues Part 1
I said look ahere mama what in the world are you trying
to do
You want to make me love you you going to break my heart
in two
I said you don't want me what made you want to lie
Now the day you quit me fair brown baby that's the day
you die
I'd rather see you dead buried in some cypress grove
Than to hear some gossip mama that she had done you so
It was early one morning just about the break of day
And along brownskin coming man and drove me away
Lord my baby quit me she done set my trunk outdoors
That put the poor boy wandering Lord along the road
I said trouble here mama and trouble everywhere you go
And it's trouble here mama baby good gal I don't know
